The National Green Tribunal (NGT) is intensifying its efforts to address illegal mining activities along the Yamuna riverbed in Uttar Pradesh's Shamli district. A newly formed panel will investigate the claims against M/S Yamuna Mines.
The NGT's order came as a response to allegations that illegal mining was taking place in Nai Nangla and Manglaura villages, with authorities allegedly turning a blind eye.
NGT chairperson Justice Prakash Shrivastava has urged the formation of a joint committee to evaluate the extent of damage, review necessary environmental clearances, and propose both remedial and punitive measures.
